Painted cardboard houses and baked goodies

Little Cardboard houses

Materials needed:
-Empty cereal box
-Scissors
-Hot glue gun
-paint

This was a fun craft to do with my little one. I figured we could use our old cereal boxes. So I came up with making little houses to go along with her little car set. 






I also made us a yummy treat.
Raspberry almond shortbread cookies, they are delicious!
 Made these to go along with our tea party later today. =)
Here's where I got my recipe: http://parentpretty.com

    The houses are such a good idea. My kids have always loved building houses out of any materials they have. The cookies look delicious! Hope you had a great tea party. :)
